  1. FB500 Head X Calibration

    I hadn't through of that! I just tried setting to "fine text" and "unidirectional" and that mostly fixed the issue (the X lines are a little wider) but the job is going to take a very long time to produce using that setting. I tried a manual Printhead X Calibration hoping to adjust the...
  2. FB500 Head X Calibration

  7. Advise on 30" or 54" Rolls of Material?

    We started with a 40" cutter when they were the bee's knees (if they ever were) and now they're impossible to get material for. 36" and 54" are pretty standard roll sizes, if you've got the scratch definitely go for the 54" and get one with auto registration if you're going from print to cut...

    I'm buying it used, I'm not sure where to look into something like that or if it would be offered on used equipment, ideas?
  9. HP Scitex FB500 Repair in Memphis?

    First post, hello everyone! I'm about to purchase an FB500 to break into flatbed printing and need a good tech in the Memphis area that works on this particular machine. Any recommendations? *Please note I'm currently unfamiliar with flatbed printing so keep jargon at level 1.*
